When everything is taken care of on the bottom end, they start bringing up the RPM's. Again nothing is a rush. Slow and steady until they get to where they want to be. All controls and monitoring system comes by way of the dyno control.

You get to watch the motor run in front of you while watching the controlls. In addition to the dyno control shown above, there is a state of the art computer system (which I didn't get a pic of) that will disply everything in detail from power curves, air mixture in each cylinder, etc. Everything is monitored.

By the end of the day, I was very happy where the motor ended up. It puts out 946@5600 and the lowest we pulled was 4500rpm and at 4500rpm the motor was making 954ft/lbs of torque. (And I was wondering why I keep going through drives). Steve said that I could get an additional 100-200 H.P. if I wanted to run race gas, but I opted to stop there. I am only running 6.5lbs of boost and the motor is fat and happy. Ready to go for another season.
When we were done with the tuning, we watched this guy run his car on their new chasis dyno. This thing is crazy. This car was a 9 second car. I watched them run it and I stayed back as far as I could. Every time they shifted gears, the car would lunge forward and I just started to pray that the straps would hold. They say that they have tested cars up to 1500hp at the rear wheels. About 3x as the car shown.

The chasis dyno is over on their "hobby shop" side of the facility. This is the side that all of the toys are kept. There were a couple of vettes, some boneville cars, the cobra, street bikes, and some other serious hardware.

I would like to thank John, Rick, and Steve over at Westech for being very professional great guys. This is the second time I have used them for dyno work and I will only go to them for any type of engine work. If anyone is thinking of having an engine dyno'ed give them a call. They will take care of you! Westech - (909) 685-4767
